| Planned Parenthood reports record year for abortions |
| 2013-01-09 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] In its latest annual report for fiscal year 2011 to 2012, Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party. reveals that it performed 333,964 abortions in 2011 -- a record year for the organization. According to annual reports, the organization performed 332,278 abortions in 2009, 329,445 in 2010, making the total number of abortions in three years to 995,687. Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer funding, according to a Susan B. Anthony List analysis of the report, in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. The amount is 45 percent of Planned Parenthood's annual revenue. "While government subsidies to Planned Parenthood have reached an all time high, so too has the number of lives ended by this profit-driven abortion business," SBA List's President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. "Destroying nearly one million children in three years is not health care and does not reflect a concern for vulnerable women and girls." |

| #6 There are about 800,000 to 1,000,000 abortions per year in the U.S. Of these, about 150,000 to 200,000 are done in early stage pregnancy without surgery using prescription drugs. So basically, Planned Parenthood performed about half of all surgical abortions in the US. Of course the PP will say that abortions are only 3& of its services but that's because they do STD and pregnancy testing, etc. which are non controversial. |

| #5 It's not about violence, John. It's about who's controlling the violence. |

And the liberals are getting their panties in a wad about guns? Just a distraction from all the other violence being perpetrated. C'mon, give me a break. |

| #3 Ask yourself what Peter and the other Apostles would have thought of the matter. If all values are relativistic then who cares what they thought? But then if there ARE real immutable Values concerning Human Life we can share the values of the japanese when it comes to Abortion...or the Chinese. Or the North Koreans. Or even the French. They have no problem with shoving a sharp steel canula through a fetus's brain. |
